Tutorial required tools

The following tools are required to run through the tutorial.

1. A web browser (e.g. Firefox, Chrome)

2. The IMOD software package, a set of image processing and visualization tools for microscopic data.

• Click here for Windows installation instructions

• Click here for Mac installation instructions

• Click here for Linux installation instructions

3. An SSH client

• For Windows: The Cygwin client that was installed with IMOD is sufficient.
• For Mac/Linux: The default Terminal app is sufficient.

4. A public SSH Key (If you haven't already generated one)

• For Windows:

  1. Open Cygwin by double-clicking the desktop icon and, at the Cygwin command line, type:

     ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa

     and hit enter. Follow instructions and enter a unique password.

  2. In the same command line window type:

     cd ~/.ssh

     to change to the .ssh directory where the key files should exit.

     The id_rsa file is your private and should be kept safe. NEVER SHARE THIS FILE.

     The id_rsa.pub file is the public key that we will be importing into as a keypair into AWS to enable access to CDeep3M instances.

  3. Type (be sure to type the period):

     explorer .

     to see the files in a browser.

     The public key is circled in red below.

     

• For Mac:

  1. Open the Terminal app. This can be done by pressing both the 'command' key (it is left of space bar with ⌘ on it) and the space bar to open the 'Spotlight Search'.

     In the 'Spotlight Search' type:

     terminal

     and hit enter/return

  2. In the terminal just opened type:

     ssh-keygen

     Follow instructions and enter a unique password.

  3. In the same terminal type:

     cd ~/.ssh
     ls

     to see a listing of files.

     The id_rsa file is your private key and should be kept safe. NEVER SHARE THIS FILE.

     The id_rsa.pub file is the public key we will be importing into as a keypair into AWS to enable access to CDeep3M instances. To find this directory open 'Spotlight Search', type:

     ~/.ssh

     and hit enter.

• For Linux:

  1. Open a terminal and at the command line type:

     ssh-keygen

     Follow instructions and enter a unique password.

  2. In the terminal type:

     cd ~/.ssh
     ls

     to see a listing of files.

     The id_rsa file is your private key and should be kept safe. NEVER SHARE THIS FILE.

     The id_rsa.pub file is the public key we will be importing into as a keypair into AWS to enable access to CDeep3M instances.
